they didn't necessarily see this as america's war. they saw it as something to directly affect them, and it did that had to concentrate on south vietnam, but a lot of the fighting was going on in laos, and same solders, thai solders, who fought in vietnam, fought in the north and the communists. you can't get a full view of the vietnam war without reading some of these regional perspectives. i think, at times, united states, we tend to not only privilege an american position, but almost to focus on exclusively american perspective of the vietnam war while ignoring vietnamese perspective and thai-lao, cam bodian, other national perspectives to consider. i also think about allies as well, too, that these -- the united states is always going to have foreign allies in these conflicts, and through studying the interaction of what worked and what didn't work, what were the sort of elements where we agreed and disagreed, that kind of thing, that will help us understand what we are doing whether it's in iraq or afghanistan or other conflicts.
